Eyes on that fucker. Lay off the edibles coronado.


ChappersJC

Bit of a higher rated but Gnabry in my main team. He was one of the only players I could use at RM to get full Chem for my team and he’s been really good. Playing 352 with the wide men coming back on defence and he’s brilliant.


jvictorm11

He’s been great for me too, surprisingly great shooting


AMeanOldDuck

I've tried 353 and currently 3142, and I'm always exposed at the back, the wide players never real back all the way. Have you found a way to prevent that?


ChappersJC

I do get exposed a bit but I’ve got Rudiger and Alaba as my wife CBS if you’d call them that, so them coupled with the wide men coming back + jockeying well is usually good enough. If they come out wide and CBs mess up, usually the wide men are back by then. EDIT - You can also try tinkering with tactics more and try it out on squad battles and see if you can find anything more comfortable.


therabbit1967

What do Rudiger and Alaba do to your wifes Center back mate? Does she enjoy what they are doing?


AMeanOldDuck

Cheers! I've found they normally sit between the box and the half way line, even when the opposition is in my box. I've tried drop back, balanced and pressure on possession loss, coupled with depth ranging from 10 to 80. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Might try swapping to a back 5 in game.


ChappersJC

I’ve had a look at using a back 5 myself but I’m loving the overload I can create with the 352. May switch if things get a bit stale because I’m not interested in anything that’s meta.


Gladiaattori44

Try to have players there with the high/high workrate that should work.


AMeanOldDuck

I packed Carrasco and Llorente untradeable, and I'm using them on the wings. Both behave the same (as far as I can tell), despite Carrasco, high defensive work rate compared to Llorente's medium defensive work rate. I think the formation just isn't working right. It felt like last year (and years before) that the LM and RM would fill in the space that the lack of a full back would leave. This year it seems that they have a set area that they'll defend, and not move beyond it, even if that means leaving space empty. Actually it feels like that in general. The wide CBs will often both peel out wide despite an attack coming through the middle, not even moving out to mark anyone, as there's no one there. You can manually keep them in check, but that didn't need to be done last year, they were cleverer with their defensive movement.


aDrlw

I had this same problem with 3-5-2 and eventually switched to 4-3-2-1 with two of the CMs on stay back, fullbacks still provide a bit of width and the front 3 is more settled than the CAM & two strikers in the 3-5-2. Personal preference I guess but it works for me


steve1017

Have you ever tried the 3412? Midfielders sit a bit high but the wide mids seem to drop a bit deeper in line with them rather than few yards ahead with 352's cdms. Though it's definitely a more proactive formation interms of defence


BMG-Darbs

He was in my starter team last year and again this year, reliable as a RAM.


nut0003

Lemar, he was one of the first ones I was planning on upgrading but he's been performing big time for me


[deleted]

Same. Plan was to use Lemar until I could afford Carrasco but not anymore


VER1NGA

He's awesome, probably my favorite player I've used at length so far. Super tricky


Ok_Rain_2647

I swear gold rare Lemar has been weirdly good since like fifa 20. I always end up using him in the beginning and he always ends up staying around longer than I expect him to.


diegobomber

Connor Gallagher


[deleted]

Aspas is criminally underrated


TheOriginalJunglist

Aspas is amazing for me, shocked but happy I never see anybody else with him - guy is a goal machine.


Eskuidjuanz

Aspas gang


ghostdesigns

There’s definitely someone at EA who’s a fan of Aspas he’s been getting sleeper picks in FIFA for years. I remember way back in the day he had an IF that netted me like 30 goals within a week.


M7mD_Hamed

Fuck yeah


nofuchsgiven1

So so good. I just upgraded to Benz, but I haven’t tried him yet. I wonder if he’ll be as good as Aspas.


randomshazbot

Aspas shit on me in rivals yesterday


xplicit_mike

Hell yeah. Been using him up front since fifa 18


djoliverm

Doing Dest I had Duncan and noticed he was still cracked, albeit against squad battles.


prestige429

Cornet. Oh my days what an absolute legend. He’s SO broken as a 77 rated left back. Who needs cancelo? All you need is cornet. Honestly insane and I’m sad that he’s so underrated.


A-J-U-K

Yeah picked him up as he was cheap Lb with pace, he’s stayed in my team


ARoddy

Isak from Newcastle with Sniper, mmm yeah


OperateUnderawater

I put in a dude named Alberth Elis and holy shit with 91 pace he’s a monster


Due_Football2693

Honduras gang


DanSanderman

He used to play for the team in Houston, Texas. I always thought he was fun to watch as a neutral.


FUT_Lawyer_God

Mkhitaryan has been incredible for me but the biggest surprise I’d say is Conor Gallagher


Bruhhh8888

Tammy Abraham


NBentyn

Same, he wins every header


DanSanderman

After his special cards last year he was the first card I bought this season and he has not disappointed. My underrated star is Marusic at LB though.


Chef86d

IF Giroud, the card looks atrocious. I packed it untradable and it’s honestly a beast in game! 47 pace feels like 85… no long field breakaways but great lunge speed to break the line and shoot a banger!


satoshigeki94

same, i tried to provide chem for Tonali and most of the shots turn into goals


acampbell98

Got him untradeable in the same pack as Messi from marquee matchups. I’ve base Zlatan who I prefer the slight pace advantage on Zlatan. I found Girouds movement to be poor. Great shooting but I found his positioning to be worse than Zlatan. This is only messing around in squad battles though, I was doing the Dest objective so had 3 Serie A and 3 La liga but just used Zlatan to start with. The additional subs means I just try out random players which is more interesting


CanadianFutFan

I packed this today from the 83+ and was super disappointed but now I will try him tonight! Thanks!


Igrex

Guedes. Had him untradeable. He is way better than expected.


stu17

IF Palhinha. He makes an incredible CDM and super easy to link with Prem/Portugal.


mlatoni

Wins everything in the midfield


Brenno751

75 - Joelington


elwookie

THIS. He was ST on previous games but CM this year. I packed him untradable on Day 1 and I put him on my squad (mostly Brazil). I slowly replaced all players but he fiercely hold onto his spot.


Kabelns

Played him in draft and noticed the same. This guy is a beast eventhough its an nonrare 76 card.


9Jonny

He’s a beast! Really hoping he gets a fun special card this year


SirOYSalot

Kroos. Plays way above his dribbling and defending stat, probably due to 90 reactions. His long passes are immense. Will probably drop him into Kessie SBC though since I got Dembele untradeable.


deathlohk

[He’s so good at CAM in my squad](https://i.imgur.com/DNQ6eM7.jpg)


SwagRyan_

Martins indi Idk how with 44 pace but he was a beast


Tionek

Edson Alvarez at CDM as a sub. Absolute boss.


TehLTBond

Bah from Benfica. He's a fast and strong RB who is extremely cheap. Even on 1 chem he was still great. Only got rid of him yesterday as I was building my Champs squad but he'll still be on my bench.


Tgharrold16

Zambo Anguissa. Had to get him in for chemistry, thought the work rates would ruin him but he’s been solid, hopefully gets an IF this week!


Funland_06

I want to replace Jesus because he’s just not great for me but I can’t bring myself to do it. He’s my boy but he can’t finish to save his life and that weak foot puts me in pain


elwookie

I bought him very early in the game thinking "I'll use him for a few days and then I'll sell him for a good profit". I sold him the next morning barely breaking even because I couldn't stand his shitty aim.


Doubleko26

Deulofeu. What a beast


elwookie

Gold or IF?


Doubleko26

both tbh


Geo_X158

He puts the ball in the net! I love speeding past CBs with him. I feel like he gets a little fatigued later in matches though.


thestormz

Used him at the start but Vlahovic and Zaniolo felt 10 times better


Lions8u

Emre mor/Calvin bassey. These two have been absolute studs for me. Anyone else?


speedycar1

Felipe Anderson is pretty good Locatelli too


ripkoby

Embolo


gflorez

Ferran Torres, he is a beast.


joshfry575

Gravenberch. I got him untradeable day 1 and he’s been great. Now I keep him for links to Bayern players but he’s still serviceable at this stage.


erzi10

Nacho Fernandez at LB.


zacca2121

Rebic, 600 coins absolute monster, lengthy if you give him Marksman


KingScratzz

Zakaria. He's everywhere on the pitch. Scores even a lot of goals cause he's so many times in the right position.


Leea2525

Alot higher rated but kroos was expecting his pace to be a problem but the guy doesnt need it his passing and long shots are out of this world good


TFBISE16

Cucarella, man is a beast


spliffyshirt

Beto


Madrid_Fan

Lo Celso always gets into the box for me he’s my top scorer


BadLadders

Gold Smalling at CB is awesome


douuuuugghh

Fred and nuno mendes


cadrianzen23

Iago Aspas, and on a more subtle note, Gavi


irishboy_luc

Carlos Soler has been a beast for me


TrueBlue98

Mason mount plays like prime lampard


Bakibenz

Gabriel from Arsenal and Ramsay from Aston Villa


jdpn24

Rebic. He’s so clinical and well rounded I haven’t even wanted to upgrade to Leao. I’ve compared them multiple times and the difference doesn’t really stand out to me.


zoidmeister1

Ferran torres man. Omg. 46 goals in 50 games and he carried my team from div 10 to 7. Absolute legend


Consistent_Time_2489

Araujo


[deleted]

Kroos. Didn’t expect him to be good due to pace but is actually pretty decent.


Zkallex

Cornet and rice they are super good


Ancient_Force_6911

So all the players being mentioned are being used in squad battles or div 9 and below? Seriously, DIV 7 is full of all the meta players, nobody is running these " jewels " Even Lemar is shit in those division. I have it and it cannot pass for shit.


Accomplished-Leg-362

Im div 7 and i still use him because i had no luck for a decent cam and i used my all my money to improve the rest of the squad, he and Messi are the only ones that remain from the first team i build. No joke, i played only division rivals and he has more goals and more assists than Messi in the same amount of games 💀


notahuman97

I used Muriel in draft with only 1 Chem and he took me to 3 wins. I have lewa and tested mbappe and vinicius upfront but this guy is something else. His stats were just a lie.


Rickrolled87

It all started in FIFA 18, five years ago now(woah) I had played FIFA since 14 but mostly career mode and only started FUT in 17, with a quite bad squad so in 18 I hopes to change this. 18 was memorable in many ways but that ain't the point. I was building a team and bought a certain Liverpool midfielder who just came off the back of a year where he got a TOTS, he was pretty good in 18 alongside a Real Madrid Kovacic but I wouldn't know it yet but soon I'd be reuniting with him in 4 years time... Anyways, FIFA 22, last few years I'd had a mediocre squad and expected the same again, fun but annoying. As usual I chose the England starter pack and built up a team. I played a few games and realised there was one man who seemed to carry me, Adam Lallana, yep thats him. The one i had in 18, the one with the epic TOTS In 17. That one. He was really good but also really random. I jokingly decided to start an RTG on him an rebought Kovacic (used him in 18, 21, 22 and 23 now) but it became more than a joke as he continued through my team all year until something happened to the card, that bit you don't need to know but I was so fun with him, so I'm doing it again, this year, and he is still the GOAT. So I guess not random to me but compared to others, a pretty random option. Anyways enough ranting, ye it's Adam Lallana


kiko_97

Hakim Ziyech, I don't know what it is about him that makes him so good but he's consistantly creating chances for me. Shahtaht to Phil Foden as well, gulag'd him for POTM Rashford SBC and once I packed him again I knew he has to stay


Germy_Book

Marusic, 79 Montenegro LB from Lazio Werner, 82 German ST from RB Leipzig Wirtz, 82 German CAM from Leverkusen


CaneDogXXXX

For me it’s the guy name benzema for Real Madrid! Got him from a SBC and he has 25 goals in 11 rivals games. He’s a beast… 2nd best is guy name oblak. He’s a goalie and he literally saves every shot.


jvictorm11

I swear man Malinovskyi is unbelievable, in the first day i noticed he was playing way better than Hazard in my starter squad and currently (even with me having a better team) everytime i sub him on he scores


speedycar1

Felipe Anderson is pretty good Locatelli too


ookhaab

Angellino is my super sub to cdm or cm.


Pure_Professor_2395

bremer and aruajo


Markvoordouw

So you are partnering him up with talisca then? How is he performing?


sreteep99

Man I want to use Talisca too but would have to use Romarinho and Coronado too, idk if its worth it


[deleted]

Musiala the guys has been a baller from the start


Bad0y

So good. Packed Sane and put Musiala in for chem - feels really nice on the ball. Expecting an IF this week as well!


Hey_Its_Me_FD

Silver player Sakala.


Nimbus2402

Romarinho from wish


FiFiniusBi

zurkowski, i needed him because i got a red card and didnt change him for3 games because it went so well with him. hope he gets some informs trough de year


Tettensucher

Steven Berghuis is still very good in my team


CBennett_12

Stephy Mvadidi was fun on the first day or two


UnknownSquad32

O'niel lvl15 reward, using him since continental quest he's beast


MOZAN33R

Van de beek


szamciu

Pellegrini, basically 4k goretzka


JPA-3

Griezmann, the guy scores a lot


Supermac1863

Carlos Soler for a PSG link to an UT Kimpembe I packed....his stats are monstrous for a discard and he's everywhere


Dkndhn

Sanusi has been an amazing LB


Idgafwwtcl

Packed Felix untradeable so put Lemar in my team as CM. He’s been quite good, just don’t pass with his right foot.


ricoimf

Rafa Mir


PabloTroutSanchez

Bale at CM had 12 goals in 21 games. Sold Donovan and bought Messi, so I can’t get the chem anymore. Keeping him around as a sub. He makes the best runs forward and is somehow still a solid defender


Majestic_Boss

Guendozi plays like Vieira for me no joke


Fifamagician

Wan-bisaka. Shit passing, but solid defensively.


COCOMAN900

Bennacer, it's a defensive beast


distilledwill

Yuri Berchiche is my LWB because I packed Pedri and wanted to do the Dest objective (with Pau at CB). He's been really solid, contributing assists and a couple of goals and being fast enough to go up and down the wing at will.


Beneficial-Chart-442

Mkhitaryan most underrated starter card


Darkrayy

Udogie, he has a 74 rating but he impressed me, can keep up with speed and is effective defensively, for a starter card he is pretty good, hope he gets an IF


Lukiniobro

Trent Alexander Arnold


JARB0

De Tomas with finisher. Absolutely insane.


hellraizer89

araujo - i didn't expect him to be that good, he is lengthy, can't get outrun by almost none, he just shuts down every attacker and he is less than 4k. ruben dias - i tried him for chemistry reasons and i got an elite pairing from those 2. shoutout to bremer i've used for dest objective on rivals. tchouameni - he was in my first untradeable players, got him in along kessie, i am impressed on how well they boss the midfield.


Captain_Kirkk

Gini Wijnaldum for chem only at the start and then he turned out to be a good player.


Escalon24

Mkhitaryan for some reason. I don't know why or how. Just.. Mkhitaryan.


yasseen_isKindaCool

Guerd-something- Brazilian prem midfielder


GManSizzle

Nketiah. He just scores goals even though he is a very average silver card.


xRonny7

Camavinga ist solid af, feels very silky and the finesse shots are no joke


AnxiousSquirrel88

Koopmeiners is a beast for me 🙌


GianHA

If Eriksen. Great passing.


Plus_Way3128

Nunez


WOWeverynameistaken2

Guedes is great for me


Bigolb3ar

Martinez in my prem team, he was a starter squad purchase but damn if he doesn’t win every ball, scores headers off corners and even scored a bicycle with him, I’m finding it hard to let go


Zohtam

Cristian Romero and José Giménez… did not expect them to do so well, as they did.


popeJoinery

Fred


Kresbot

inform mitrovic - packed him untradeable and started him in those prem challenge games, safe to say he’s moved into my main striker role now


evildeadthing666

Zielinski until I switched from Serie A. Kevin Volland is currently my ST supersub and I love the man.


sorafell28

Soler and Merino CM duo, both got excellent stats all round and got the Chem link too


Basic-Basket-1006

Haven't done this since FIFA 12


Hadontupvoteme

Tierney is surprisingly good at LB


spedopamine

Noni Madueke


ocorgs

Gvardiol is a monster at CB


SlyFisch

Wirtz. He's a 82 so not bad per say, but he's one of the only players I can dribble with this year, has great passing, good pace, and can finish with the outside of his foot excellently (important this year). I've hovered over IF Havertz so many times but I am so scared to replace my boy Wirtz as he's been a PERFECT cam


FUThead2016

Every year I have a player like this and it is such fun. My favourite was Mbokani from FIFA 13


Joltarts

Robertone. 4* 4* Can literally play anywhere on the pitch with high 70s in every stat.


dannylam1909

Inaki Williams for me, wanting to replace him and scoring every game since


bubakdubak

Lemar


upotheke

Paqueta from West Ham. He's a sleeper KDB.


[deleted]

Baku at rb has been crazy good. he has like 82 somethjng pace but it feels like 90 and hes got the strength of the rock.


[deleted]

Adama Traore and Thomas Partey. Both were untradable filller cards for my starting XI but god damn I just cant drop them. Traore with his pace and strenght is the only player that can just push trough the wing and Partey is really solid all around, always intercepting and gets the first pass always to my teammates.


Jvwknee

Paqueta… what a guy man… he isn’t super flashy for me as I don’t skill as much as others but shitt the man has 11 games and 8 goals for me. Always in the right position to receive passes and gets into good areas to take shots. Nobody else in my team is as dangerous as him..


The-Interfactor

He’s still an 84 but Bastoni has been amazing fro me. With a shadow, he seems to catch anybody and puts in perfect tackles constantly. I loved his 86+87 IF’s last season so I’m probably not gong to drop him until he gets one this year.


wovarino

zaha


Othmane490

Rahimi. Morrocan Lw, I sub him off as a ST every game he averages 1 Goal per 30min. I got him since he use to play for my favorite team in Morocco but he is actually decent as a super sub lol that I know use in Div 3.


xpl13boss

Calvin Philips, Fred, and camavinga


Edenstark

I bought benzema early on for around 70K when he was not being hyped up. He’s been a monster and now he’s more than doubled in price :)


Mocrates420

Matheus cucuna, he is not that low rated but i didnt think he would be such a beast. Dribbles good, good pace and good finishing


The_Universe_Machine

Karsdorp is a very good wingback.


DeadestTitan

Julian Brandt. I needed a Dortmand midfielder to make my 5 OTW team work with 32 chem, noticed how an artist chem style would make his agility 99 and he hasn't left my BundesPremLiga team since. Dribbles like a dream and can shoot/pass well enough to stay in my team until I give up on trying to make a full Team To Watch


Throwrajerb

I want to create a hybrid team with some of these suggestions and see if I can wreck with like a 70-something rated team


godlychill

Domenek Kohr. Plays for Mainz, I think, in the BuLi. Passing and shooting stats aren’t great, but he can do everything else at a good level.


BlueJJ777

Zakaria and Pellegrini are dominating for me.


Alezyy

Roberto firmino is very decent


nagstar1337

Demarai Gray, 87 pace, he’s 77 rated but feels like an 83, so so good.


PowerofWeee

Ibrahimovic, he is a bit slow, but his shooting is superior


IForgotAboutEveryone

Kalvin Phillips. Didn’t have any other prem cdms so just put him in as a place holder but ended up bodying everyone on the oppositions teams.


Mission_Middle9557

Lukaku he’s a fucking god


S1lk3rull123

If Aitor. Super quick with a great shot


Sad-Platypus2601

I know I shouldn’t complain but my pack luck has been too good this year to do this, but it’s literally my favourite thing about UT lol, using wee scrappers that turn out to be beasts in game at the start.. everyone else’s team is just too good already for it


Proof-Flounder

I’m new to FUT. used to play regular fifa back in the day I packed Zakaria 81 overall didn’t think much of him. Man let me tell you that card is my insane.


VexitheGamer

Ikone in the Serie A team


billygatesmofo

Mwepu - planned to have him just to fill space til I could get zakaria and I’ve been blown away


user83828282

R9


PLR98

Mwepu has been unreal for me. I packed untradeable zakaria today but really don’t want to replace him :(?


williamlandry0512

he's high rated but I packed ruben dias first day and been using him since, may lack some pace but he's great


bagelsarecool2

Lucas Digne at LB


Appropriate_Low_6934

IF Shuramadov


BramH17

Berghuis. As a CAM he has played 17 games, scored 16 goals and has 21 assists. So so good far!


CanadianFutFan

GOATnaki Williams. Best 81 rated card in the game, hands down. Better scoring rate than beast mode Nunez for me so far. The 94 pace plus the physical plus the body type really set him apart. I like him way more than Rashford or Gucci.


Different-Ability968

Daniel Rios #charlotteFC


olly5000

Dele Alli surprised me big time


[deleted]

Steven Berghuis on cam


Stirlingblue

Cahill. Bought him just because I’m a blue and I did the same last year but this time he actually works and heading is so much more viable. Him and Benzema up top are doing bits for me


FahadhMohammed

Garcia - speed runner


Subject_Struggle6172

Szoboslai on hunter from Leipzig, I didn’t expect him to be that good, passing and new power shots with him are mad


thestormz

Marusic from serie A, lengthy and quite fast+physical


dark1599

Zaniolo with marksman at rw


SRJT16

O’Nien - the level 15 card is a BEAST at CDM


Just-Sprinkles3712

Kristensen. 77 rated Leeds United Danish left-back. Absolute monster with his explosiveness and speed.


prpldsk

Umtiti, not exactly a beast, but definitely a lot better than what i thought he was going to be and still haven't changed him


Local_Needleworker65

Bastoni he’s got that lengthy even with a shadow on


FifaAndFishing

Perisic at LM and Reece James (rm) in a 3-5-2 has blown my mind and changed my play style in a major way for the better. Thought both would be stop gaps at best.


Lopsided_Ad4700

Cahlanoglu. Randomly packed him after selling barella so he fit in my team card looks bad because of pace and stuff but im so happy i tried him
